Recommendation:

The site creator acknowledges the lack of graphics on his site in order to focus his time on creating meaningful activities that involve and encourage student participation. Teachers are likely to find a relevant activity because of the large number of topics and areas covered by the site.

Description:

The listening lab provides free, interactive listening activities with follow-up questions. The home page organizes listening activities by easy, medium and difficult. The 'ESL Study Guide' page shows a table of the activities on the site arranged by unit and language function. In the downloadables category (fee), MP3 recordings, an ESL listening test, a multimedia guide and a sound effects library are tools available for educators wanting to create customized resources.

Possible uses:

English language learners can use these activities in a self study fashion. Teachers can use any activity with an entire class, on or off line. The activities provide listening practice to conversational English. The 'Teacher Tips' page provides guidance in pre-listening, listening and post-listening activities.
